But now, 106 years after they last won a World Series title, the team has decided to embrace a mascot.

Not just any mascot, but a Berenstain Bears-looking cartoon bear mascot with a backward hat, named for a street that borders Wrigley Field..

But if you're counting on this mascot to shoot T-shirt cannons and do a rally dance, you're sorely mistaken.

While it may seem like a good idea at the time, the Cubs just don't seem like a franchise in need of a mascot. The Yankees tried it once, and it failed miserably.



I know you may want to be the Yankees, but trust me Chicago, you don't want to be the Yankees.
